This version still makes classic MSI usable in irqchip mode, now not
only for PCI devices (AHCI, HDA) but also for the HPET (with msi=on).
Moreover, it contains an additional patch to refresh the MSI IRQ routes
after vmload.


Patches 1-8 applied, thanks. I'm not sure about 9 (hpet kvm msi integration) - it seems very intrusive to do this to every msi-supporting device. At least for pci we get all pci devices done in one shot.

We could do this transparently in hw/apic.c. When the message is sent for the first time we look it up, fail, and update the kvm routing entry. Next time the lookup succeeds and we just use KVM_IRQ_LINE, until the message changes and we need to update the irq entry again.
